Efficient transport increases household productivity
Using intermediate means of transport for domestic tasks, including the movement of water, fuel and food, saves time and energy, particularly for women and children. The time and energy saved can improve the productivity and quality of life of rural households. Intermediate means of transport can assist access to markets, schools, health centres and other social and economic facilities.
